Three incredible UK mountain walks to try this summer
Ramblers Incredible Walks P2 - North Yorkshire
Looking for some great hillwalking this year? Then try these
incredible routes. Developed by the Ramblers, these walks take you to
some of the most stunning scenery in Britain.
To make them super-easy to enjoy, every route comes with a printable
OS map, full written directions, and - for the tech geeks - GPX
downloads so you can follow the route on your smartphone.
These three routes are free to view - simply register online at the
Ramblers Find Routes page. If you like these walks, there are over
2,000 more to discover - join the Ramblers you can access them all.
1. Stac Pollaidh, West Highlands
Ramblers Incredible Walks P1 - West Highlands
Category: Moderate
Distance: 2.5 miles
Typical duration: 2 hours
Start: Stac Pollaidh car park on the Achiltibuie Road
Nothing can quite prepare you for the stark beauty of Scotland's far
northwest and this walk climbing Stac Pollaidh showcases this area at
its very best, treating you to panoramic views over Britain's great
wilderness.
Other than a very steep climb to reach the ridge, the rewards far
outweigh the efforts you will expend on this walk, with relatively
straightforward terrain to negotiate along the way. Be prepared for a
short, simple scramble to reach the ridge, from which you'll enjoy the
kind of views that you'd expect to have to mount an expedition to
experience.
If you are planning on giving this route a go, check our West
Highlands mountain forecast before you set off.

2. Moel Wnion and Aber Falls, Snowdonia
Ramblers Incredible Walks P1 - Snowdonia
Category: Challenging
Distance: 6.7 miles
Typical duration: 4 hours 10 minutes
Start: Abergwyngregyn Bus Stop and Car Park
From the quiet village of Abergwyngregyn, this walk takes you along
part of the long distance North Wales Path, which runs from Bangor to
Prestatyn, through fields to Moel Wnion, a hill sitting within the
northern carneddau range. You'll climb to the summit to enjoy stunning
views, before heading down the other side, walking past streams and
gulleys.
The pinnacle of this walk is Aber Falls, one of Wales' most beautiful
waterfalls. After stopping to admire the dramatic, tumbling water,
you'll return to Abergwyngregyn through a pretty national nature
reserve.
If this walk takes your fancy, remember to check our Snowdonia
mountain forecast page

3. Great Langdale, Lake District
Ramblers Incredible Walks P1 - Lake District
Category: Moderate
Distance: 8.4 miles
Typical duration: 4 hours 30 minutes
Start: The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale
This walk in the stunning Langdale Valley is a real treat. Sticking to
low levels, this route gives you a taste of mountain walking, complete
with stunning views, but without too much serious exertion. Meander
along tracks, paths and across pretty bridges while you admire the
unique mountain lakes of the Lake District, known as tarns.
The final return of this route is particularly spectacular, along the
Cumbria Way's much loved route in the shadow of some of the finest
mountains in England.
Planning on taking on this route? Remember to check out our Lake
District mountain weather page before you leave.
